National Institute of Standards and Technology's contract dollars, traced to the source.
National Institute of Standards and Technology · Department of Commerce
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is the Commerce Department's measurement-science laboratory, setting national standards and running R&D across metrology, cybersecurity, and advanced manufacturing at its Gaithersburg and Boulder campuses. Its ~$0.28B in FY2025 contract dollars is dominated by laboratory campus construction and renovation — the two largest awards are the Building 245 modernization (Hensel Phelps, ~$71M) and the Boulder Building 1 renovation (Whiting-Turner, ~$63M), joined by a cafeteria/facilities task order. The remaining top spend runs to campus facilities services (janitorial) and cybersecurity R&D engineering support for the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (MITRE, ~$24M).

What this monitor reads — and what it doesn't
This is the contract-signal tier: the live USAspending award feed for the National Institute of Standards and Technology awarding sub-agency. It shows where NIST's procurement dollars go — obligations over time and the largest awards — not total budget authority, which also includes payroll, grants, and transfers. Figures reflect the contract (procurement) slice from USAspending FY2025 award data, not NIST's total budget authority. The appropriation-level view lives on the Department of Commerce monitor.
